Financial Aid

Types of Financial Aid
   
Fellowships:
Usually granted to individuals to cover their living expenses while they carry out research or projects. Awards are usually based on an individual's merit.



  
Assistantships:
Usually campus-affiliated work assignments (e.g., graduate teaching instructor, research associate) that provide an individual stipend and often waive tuition and/or other fees.
   
Grants:
Most often awarded to cover expenses associated with carrying out research or other specific projects.
   
Loans:
Available from the government or other private sources that need to be paid back.
   
Internal Financial Aid:
Often within specific graduate school programs, especially Ph.D. programs. Once you have decided which programs you are interested in, talk with them about internal aid.
